Your current topic bans/edit restrictions

Here are your current restrictions:

  • No tagging articles
  • No welcoming users
  • You may edit only in your userspace or any talk space (Talk, User talk, Wikipedia talk, etc.)

Exceptions to these are allowed if approved by an admin or one of your mentors. An exception might be a one-time thing, or allowing you to do a specific thing whenever you want. Of course, I don't know if the people who were acting as your mentors want to continue. They put work into working on a way to help you learn, only to have you walk away from it.

As far as getting these lifted, you would need to show that you can make good, constructive edits. You can do that by working on articles in your userspace and asking people to review your changes. Any such changes would need approval before being moved outside of your userspace.

This does not mean that you should do a lot of work that just stays in your userspace, because that wouldn't benefit Wikipedia. Work on no more than a few articles at a time, and work on things that will benefit the project. You already have quite a few articles in your userspace, so I don't think you need to create any new ones right now.

Any questions? --Auntof6 (talk) 02:53, 17 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Here's another one: you are not to edit any pages here that are policies, guidelines, procedural, or in any way instructional. This does not apply to articles, only to other areas, including but not limited to Wikipedia-space and Help-space. In the case of pages like Template talk:Did you know, where part of the page is instructional and part is discussion, you may edit the discussion but not the instructional part. I added this one partly because some pages that fit this definition are talk pages, which you would otherwise be allowed to edit. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:26, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Just kidding.

Wait on QD

I do not see a valid reason given for the request. Presumably it coincides with the user no longer active banner, but that has been up for several months while the user has made well over 100 edits during that time. PokestarFan, discuss this with your mentors and see what they recommend. If you genuinely wish to leave and not contribute anymore, then just leave the pages as they are. User:Rus793 (talk) 14:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Request for courtesy vanishing refused. From en:WP:RTV: "Vanishing is not a way to avoid criticism, sanctions, or other negative attention, unless you really mean to leave permanently."
If this somehow makes it to the Global Rename queue, note to global renamers and/or stewards: it is my judgement as a local sysop that the right to vanish is being misused over here. It is suggested that prospective requests be accepted only if there is a pressing privacy-related/real-word concern for the continued existence of this account, and related associations.

@Rus793: I don't see a request to delete the talk page, just the user page. Was there a request I missed to delete the talk page? User pages can usually be deleted, and these days they're often deleted so that the user's global user page will be displayed. --Auntof6 (talk)
Sorry, I meant userpage. I'll edit the comment. User:Rus793 (talk) 16:48, 30 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
I previously removed the QD template from this user talk page. User talk pages are not eligible under QD U1, though users are entitled to request deletion of their entire userspace (non-talk). I would, however, suggest holding on for a bit before deleting - there are quite a few userpages, and PokestarFan has a bit of a flip-flopping history regarding such things. There is no time limit for QD anyway. Chenzw  Talk  16:55, 30 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oh, never mind, I commented a bit too late on this. Chenzw  Talk  16:56, 30 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Maybe people were getting confused because of PokestarFan's custom text in the edit summary -- "Made by PokestarFan". At first, I thought he was asking to delete everything he had made, but when I looked closer, I saw that that was not the case. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:01, 30 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
I have deleted the user page. Users can request deletion of any page in their userspace except their talk page. They do not have to give a reason. There was nothing on the user page that needed to be preserved, and the user's global user page is now displayed. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:57, 30 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from changing Wikipedia for 1 week for violating your current edit restrictions.

Once the block has ended you can make helpful changes. Please read Wikipedia's blocking policy and remember that adding spam, making changes that do not have a neutral point of view, making personal attacks on others, not respecting other people's privacy, and vandalizing pages are not allowed. If you do any of these things, you will be blocked again.

If you think this block is unfair, you can ask to be unblocked by adding {{Unblock|your reason here}} below. If you cannot do this or the reason is private please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked. Auntof6 (talk) 02:13, 25 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Unblock request

 

This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators said no to this unblock request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not unblock the user without a good reason. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

PokestarFan/Archive_3 (contribs · deleted contribs · block log · filter log · global contribs)


Request reason:

Cpuld you please unblock me? I know I really shouldn't be going crazy, but there is a lot of vandalisim, and I can't help revert it.

Decline reason:

No reason given for unblocking. "I want to edit" is not an acceptable reason. Besides that, reverting vandalism is not allowed under your current restrictions. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:38, 31 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
